Quoting Whoodoo:
So I was looking around and trying to compare the available camber plates for our e39a's and apparently Tein has invented a new material... Their mounts are made from 'Ultra Duraluminum A2017S-4'. What the hell is that? If you google it, the only hits you get are tein related. Anyone know what they hell this stuff is? How have all your tein mounts been holding up?
It's marketing. They hold up fine, regardless of what Tein calls the material.

Now that is one clean engine bay!
He loves to show off.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsdunno.gif I needed a quick pic of the camber plate that showed where it was in its adjustment range. Can I halp it if the car is clean? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Don't worry mark, we all know 1051 is the best /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif
Can anyone tell me exactly what its made of? I'd really like to be able to compare these camber plates apples to apples. I am leaning towards the Ksports because they are a lot cheaper than the rest. Here's the breakdown as of right now: Hotbits: $275, Tein: $230, Ksport: $145.
The Hotbits are all steel, which means they are probably worse off in the list because they will be heaviest; not by much, but it looks like weight and cost are the only determining factors in the line-up.

According to wikipedia, duralumin is an Al-Cu alloy. It doesn't have any information on A2017S-4 specifically, but because its a copper alloy, its more susceptible to corrosion... in case anyone cared.
